optical switches with bulkhead connector

The new FSM series of multimode optical fiber switches can be equipped with bulkhead connectors for SMA, ST, or FC/PC. The new series of switches provides the customer with more connector options. The patchcord architecture allows for easy exchange of damaged fibers which is especially useful when using very sensitive quartz fiber. Integrating the switch into an existing system is also very easy due to the compact switch size. The user can plug the connectors into the switch after mounting. The unique switching principles, based on piezoelectric elements, provide a fast switching frequency of up to 500 Hz. The system is very compact. Insertion losses are < 0.6 dB. The direct fiber coupling principal means there are no optical components inside which can have an influence on the beam characteristics. Piezojena specializes in custom manufacturing of fast fiber optical switches for channel configurations from 1by1 up to 1by81.
